I ^iie previous engagement between
' (be two teams, the locals bowed by
i 3.point margin, 24-27.
i The two quintets are very evently
; uatcbed, Greensboro leading High Point
i by one game in the two-cellar positions
jji the conference. The home boys are
. sure that they are going to do their best
10 finish the season with a win, and the
Pointers have ulready shown that they
eaa play np with them, so a 1:
test is in order.
The reserves, also defeated by the
High Point scrubs on the last meeting,
will clash with the Pointer second
string at 7 o’clock in the preliminary.
I The second conference win of the sea-
' son for the Greensboro basketballers
was added last Saturday when Winston
was downed 18-13 after a hot contest
, in which Whitt and Melver starred for
Greensboro.
Get Bad Start
The five got off to a pretty poor
itart this year, lack of reserve power
being responsible in a large extent. The
I first conference win of the year was the
I second Salisbury game, here, which was
'''■ won by two points, 19-21, January 27.
j Bessemer, Salisbury, Candor, Gastonia,
I and Charlotte put up wins before that
I date. Bessemer was afterward defeated
in Greensboro, 23-21.
i Later in the season the team im
proved. Charlotte was held to a nine-
1 point victory, 20-11, and Winston was
held to a close score. High Point was
battled to a close count and so was
Gastonia, one of the best outfits in the
Material Develops Late
Coach Beldjng finished the season
with a pretty fair squad, but be started
it with a shot one. He had only one
I guard, Wrenn, and he was not a letter
man, and Whitt was ineligible to play
forward. Nicholson and Burroughs
were the only other men with varsity
experience. As the season waned. Jack
Brown came out and it was found that
he could play the game 'after a fashion.
Whitt got eligible, and was shifted to
guard where he has starred ever si
Wrenn developed into a first-rate guard,
Fesmire made it at center. McIver got
I so he could put up a fair contest at
I either guard or forward posts.
I .*8 the season runs out things have
begun to look as if Coach Belding might
have had a top notch aggregation if it
had just lasted a month more.
GREENSBORO WRESTLERS
DEFEAT BARIUM SPRINGS
Riding for the most spectacular
upset of the season, in any circles,
the Greensboro high wrestlers went
to Barium Springs and defeated the
four-years-undefeated Barium grap-
plers by 16-13.
Bell, captain of the Greensboro
squad, threw a man who had not
lost in four years in three minutes.
Morrah, 108-pound man. also took a
fall. Koury and Gerringer won
small time advantages to give

TRACK LETTER MEN
START PRACTICE
Indoor Meet to be Held
Chapel Hill in
March.
NEW MATERIAL REQUIRED
FOR BASEBALL TEAM
Pitching Staff Stands Out as Potential
Weakness—Riley, Prospective Catch-
er, Former Outfielder.
SEVEN LETTER MEN ARE BACK
Just what the prospects for baseball
at the senior high school this season
are like it is of course impossible to
say. A lot depends on the coach, Her
bert Fox who Is an unknown baseball
quantity, though he has won his spurs
football and wrestling.
Seven letter men are turning out
March 2. They will give Coach Fox
complete outfield, Whartou, Bur
roughs, and Whitt. Riley won a letter
in the outfield, but It is probable that
due to the paucity of battery prospects,
' will take a place behind the bat.
The inflelders of last year’s team
are Ogburo, Iddings, and Edmundson.
Pitching stands out as a potential
•eakness of the team, with little
perienced material on the staff. Lee
Vanstory Is one of the best hold-overs
from the team of last season. Outside
of Riley, Gerringer is about the only
experienced catcher that is expected
back.
Another infield prospect is Nonce
ho almost made it last time. Nance
plays second base, and should make a
good showing this season.
Hitting was the weakness of last
season’s aggregation, and few heavy
hitters are on the squad. Ogburn man
aged to lean on once in a while, and
Whitt and Edmundson could also con
nect occasionally. Perhaps the most
consistent hitter. In pinches, at least,
wa.s Carl Iddings, inflelder.
A squad of about seventy is expected
to turn out for practice, and out of
the bunch, quite a few of whom have
bad baseball experience, either '
the senior, or junior high squads.
ROUTH HANDLES SQUAD
The six track letter men comuieuced
working out last Monday in prepani-
tion for the Indoor meet at Chapel
Hill March 7. As only a limited
number can enter from each school, it
has been decided that only the mono
gram boys will go from Greensboro.
The sprinter from G. H. S. will be
John Gunter, a consistent pacer Inst
season until he hurt his ankle. Up
until his injury he managed to come
in right behind Goodwin in most
sprints, and thereafter usually placed
well up. He will run the sixty-yard
ash.
The middle distance man for the in
door meet will be Captain John Knight,
another boy who runs consistently.
The team is expecting a great deal
from Skipper Knight in the half this
season. He will run the thousand yards
at Chapel Hill.
Abernethy and Sockwell will do the
hurdling and jumping for Gate City
highs in the meet. Both of these im
proved a great deal last season. Aber-
netliy especially is looked to for some
real stuff this year.
The letter field men are Norman and
Brown. Norman pole-vaults and throws
■ eights, and Brown throws the
javelin and shot and discus.
Besides the letter men who are al
ready out In preparation for the In
door meet, a large number of prospec
tive winners are Included in the ranks
of candidates who did not manage to
place last year but are back this time.
Distance men with experience In
clude Gregory, Nowlin, and Douglas.
Kennerly in the low hurdles ought
to do something this year, and Wrenn
strong candidate in the weights.
John Knight’s brother, Joe, ought to
) well In the middle distances.
Numbered among the ranks of the
missing is last season’s captain, Red
Goodwin. Goodwin could be counted
on to take the sprints, ten iioints, the
pole-vault, five more, and often took
the javelin throw, These fifteen or
twenty points could hardly be sneezed
and they will be sorely missed,
especially in some of the dual and trl-
clty meets with High Point and Win
ston.
Other letter men who will not line
up with the team this time are Martin,
8&0; Bradley, 440, both men generally
good for places.

WIN, LOSE FOUR GAMES
Schedule Calls for Four More Contests;
Play Germanton Tonight—Most Play
ers Are Underclassmen.
The Greensboro high girls’ basket
ball team has four more games to play
before, what has turned out to be a
I mediocre season, will be finished.
To date Miss Brinkley’s girls have
split even, winning four and losing
four. They won over Guilford high
twice, the Y. W. C. A. and Old Town.
Tliey have bowed to AViuston, King,
Chapel Hill high, and Proximity high.
Games not yet played are German
town. there, tonight, High Point,
Leaksville, and a return engagement
■^ith Chapel Hill.
The showing of the team this year
is not considered bad^ as there was
very- little experienced material ou
the squad when candi;lates were called
for. The outlook for next season is
far brighter, practically all the players
expecting to return for next season.
The varsity outfit that has started
most of the games is composed of
Lucas, Kirkman, and Starling, for
wards, all three of whom will, be back,
Homey, Carolyn Hay, and Genen May,
guards. Homey and Carolyn Hay-are
the only ones not returning.
; Other good players for next year’s
squad who have played some mniutes
this time include Goodman, Hinton,
IVbltley, and Steadman.
Gastonia, a much stronger team, won
over High Point by a very small mar
gin 28-23, this being on Gastonia’s
home court, February 3.
Gastonia wins again, this time from
Salisbury, another close game with
Gastonia 30, Salisbury 27. This game
being on Salisbury’s home court, Feb*-
ruary 6.
Charlotte, the strongest team In the
western conference has won all of her
games and was victorious over Win
ston-Salem with a large margin, 16-47,
on Winston’s home floor, February 7.
Salisbury nearly the cellar team,
gave Charlotte a hard fight with the
close score of 27-21-
Cliarlotte won over the Winston-Sa
lem boys very easy by a wide margin,
47-14, on Winston’s own floor, Feb
ruary 14.
Salisbury gave Charlotte a hard tus-
sel at Salisbury, but when they joined
up to Charlotte the tide was turned
with Charlotte 54, and Salisbury 17.
Asheville played only one game that
being with the strong Charlotte club.
The score was 43-11, Charlotte winning,
Due to financial condition Asheville
has not had any athletics this year.
SENIOR HI-Y CLOSES
membership PROGRAM
The senior Hi-Y closed its 1931 mem
bership program Friday the 13th. A
Isrge number of applications were re-
ceived and it is expected that an un
usually large club will be the result.
Plans for the initiation of the seventeen
uew members are now underway. These
eandidates will probably gain entrance
this week. The Hi-Y is looking for-
to great things from both its
and old members this year and with so
•capable a leader as Frank Abernethy
tliey are certain to reach great heights.
Girls To Have Baseball
Spring sports for girls this year will
include baseball, with possibly a little
track.' Miss Briakjey will probably
call for the candidate's for baseball out
around the second of March. The girls
a pretty fair team last year, and
are expecting several of Die players
from last year’s'squad to report this
year. _
The tennis team this year will be
coached by G. P. Cobb, one of the ad
ditions of this year to the coaching
staff at Greensboro high school, and
captained by Carl Carlson.
In addition to Captain Carlson,
three other letter men are back to
take their places on the roster when
the season gets under way. Garrett,
number one man of last year’s squad,
and Rucker and Sullivan, are the mon
ogram men. In addition to these three,
there is a large number of boys who
played In the squad last season and
did not get letters, who will be trying
for a place with the first six this year.
Boys who will likely reort are
Clary Holt, Rigdon Dees, Alvin Bayer,
Powell Banner, George Taylor. Bob
Selton, Walter Porter and Edwin Holt,
A tough schedule has already been
arranged as follows: April 3, Char
lotte at Greensboro; April 16-17, State
meet at Chapel Hill; May 17, Char
lotte at Charlotte. Matches are pend
ing with Winston-Salem, Durham, Ra
leigh, Salisbury, Burligton, Danville
and Oak Ridge.
Though the talk of a swimming
team fell through last season, it is
certain that Greensboro high will be
represented in that, sport this year, ac
cording to Coach A. P. Routh. The
Y. M. C. A. swimming pool will be
available for the team practices which
will begin about the middle of March.
Several boys who went out last year
for a while, through the prospect!’
meets did not materialize, will be back
to try it again this time.
Tlie team will be built around Car
ver, Phillips, and Byerly, In all prob
ability.
High Point and Winston are pretty
certain that they will have teams, and
negotiations with these schools are
>w under way for swimming meets.
Meets pending are;
April 17—High Point, here.
.■April 24—Winston, there.
May 1—High J’oliit, there.
May 8—Winston, here.

pervision over this team.

DEFEAT OAK RIDGE 23-10
The right of the Greensboro high
wrestlers to claim for themselves the
title of '“The most successful winter
sport team of G. H. S. for 1931 was
definitely established last Tuesday
night when they pulled down 23 points
against Oak Ridge while the Cadets
e getting ten, In the Caldwell gym
nasium.
From the .spectators’ point of -view
the scrap was one of the most inter-
estiiiging that the home boys have par
ticipated in this season, all the mathes
one being won by falls. Fighting
their last match of the season, their
last for the school, the standard of the
Purple and Gold displayed a well-
taught team, and a fast one that was
In good condition.

GROUP SHOWS POWER
The wrestling team has had the best
season of its existence at Greensboro
high school 'his year, and has been the
most successful team in the school so
far this year, winning three out of
seven mecta. It was the windup that
contained the wallop. In the last week
the grapplers won tw.) hard meets, Ba
um Springs and Oak Ridge.
The team is settled as being composed
of David Marrah, 105 pounder; Fred
Koury, 115 pounds; Ed Douglas, 125
man; Captain Bell, 135 pounder; Steve
Douglas, 145 class; Hilton Gerringer,
155, and Oka Hester, 165 pounds.
Every man on the squad with the
exception of Gardner and Hester, has
his match. Where the rub comes,
according to Coach Herbert Fox, who
standing his first term with the
grapplers as mentor, is that every man,
excepting Bell, has also lost his match
1 occasion.
Bell Goes Strong
Only onece this season l.as Captain
Hiram Boll failed to take his match by
fall. The Durham 135 pounder man
aged to get off the mat frequently
enough to escape being thrown, but all
six other regular opponents were
pinned by the redoubtable Mr. Bell.
Koury New Man
A new comer to the wrestling game
this season was Fred Koury, who proved
his worth in more than one match.
Another letterman fought in the 125
class, Ed Douglas, 115 man of last sea
son, 'who had to go up one.
